Making EVA Foam look like leather

I've done a quick search on the forum, and can't find a direct thread giving hints, but can anybody give any advice on giving a leather appearance to a piece of armour made with EVA foam?

Have you looked into leatherette? .. can get it cheaply on ebay.
I would try glueing leatherette to the foam if you want foam/ leather armour.

Hope that helps/inspires you.

Actually, if you spray it with Plasti Dip, it looks a lot like leather.

Thanks for the hints. I actually just wanted to make the armour directly out of leather, but I'm finding it difficult to get hold of pieces of leather that aren't paper thin.
